THE LOYOLA MAROON VOLUME 69, NO. 21 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70118 April 12, 1991 Frat members fined by Student Affairs By Paul Rankin Staff writer Two members of the Beggars fraternity, an off-campus organization not recognized by Loyola, were each fined $250 Monday for wearing Beggars fraternity hats at the March 24 baseball TGIF in Audubon Park. Joly Boglioli, business sophomore, and Justin Homes, communications sophomore, were accused of violating a Loyola policy concerning the active promotion of nonrecognized student organizations such as Beggars fraternity. The Student Affairs Board of Review found the two guilty. The fraternity members said they will appeal the fines. Dr. Vicki McNeil, assistant vice president for Students Affairs, canceled an appointment with The Maroon on Tuesday. A secretary in the Student Affairs office said McNeil could not release any information on the ruling. The two students were found guilty of violating a policy stated on page 36 of the Student Handbook, which states: "active promotion [of an organization] may be regarded as wearing any clothing and/or accessories...for the organization. Promotion includes letters or symbols that uld be associated with the group. This applies to any on-campus and off-campus Loyola associated event." Homes and Boglioli said they were playing rugby at the fly in Audubon Park that day and had not planned to watch the baseball game. Both were leaving the fly when they stopped by the gate of the baseball field to talk to some friends. The two were wearing Beggars baseball caps with Beggars letters. They said they were at the gate near the field for 10 minutes, then left. Homes said, "I was not at a Loyola function. I was at the park. It [attending the game] didn't even cross my mind." Both members said that at the game, Joy Raulerson and Michelle Andrews, assistant directors for Residential Life; Nan Davis, assistant director for Recreational Sports; and Brian Dezzani, intramural coordinator for Recreational Sports; saw them, but did not confront them, and later reported them to Student Affairs. Raulerson refused to comment. Dezzani, Andrews and Davis could not be reached for comment. Homes and Boglioli each received letters requesting them to contact Vincent Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs. They said a meeting was scheduled with a WHAT NEXT? By Grag Lacour Staff writer Loyola graduates facing the unknown Short said. "It's miserable, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, but it pays the bills, and that's what matters at this point," he said. Despite his setback, however, Short does not fault Loyola for his inability to find a job in his chosen field, or at least one that allows him to live near good job opportunities. "Loyola was arewardingexperience," he said. "There was no problem with the quality of the education." So what next? He plans to eventually attend graduate school at Tulane or University of New Orleans, but for the moment will "just have to make money, sweat it out" Sweating it out is just what many college students are doing, not only at Loyola, butnationwide. College students have always dreaded the thought of Arthur Short wasn't expecting this. He graduated from Loyola in August 1989 with an undergraduate degree in history and a strong desire to work for a prominent insurance firm. A few months later, the post-graduation road seemed to be straight and narrow: He was employed by an insurance firm in Washington, D.C., enjoying his job, feeling fairly secure in his new life. But gradually, the realization crept upon him, almost ridiculously simple— he couldn't afford to live there. So he returned to New Orleans nine months after he had graduated, with a family to support, ultimately settling for a job as a supervisor trainee with National/Canal Villere. 'They say they're about to make me a supervisor. I'm about toquit, actually," Loyola students vote to create sports fee By Michael Wilson Staff writer According to the Student Government Association sports fee referendum held March 20 and 21, 64 percent of Loyola's students are ready, in one way or another, to "play ball." The sports fee resolution, which would implement a student athletic fee to bfe levied on a per student basis, along with the proposed budget, will go before the Rev. James C. Carter S J., university president, and the Board of Trustees May 16 for final approval, Craig T. Bogar, director of Recreational Sports, said. According to the referendum, the "revenues generated from this fee shall go towards the development of a competitive and non-scholarship intercollegiate athletic program," which would put Loyola within the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. If the resolution passes the Board, the fee could go into effect as early as September 1991, he said. Bogar said he is "cautiously optimistic" about the Board's decision, and is encouraged by the student vote, which was "a landslide by anybody's measure." The poll results, according to college, are as follows: •Music: 27 for, 36 against •City: 57 for, 25 against. •Business: 190 for, 55 against. •Law: 141 for, 150 against. •Arts and Sciences: 525 for, 264 against. •Total: 940 (64 percent) for, 530 (36 percent) against. "I'm very excited for Loyola intercollegiate sports," Matt Johnson, accounting junior and SGA business representative, said. "The university has better things to spend its money on," Jeff Albert, music junior and SGA music representative, said. He said there is not enough money in the program tocreate an effective intercollegiate sports program. "[The university] will end up with overfunded club teams or underfunded intercollegiate teams," Albert said. Chris Smith, political science junior and Arts and Sciences representative, said he was also "very pleased with the passage." Dennis Elfert, third year law student and Law school representative, said he hopes "the monies are administered correctly and responsibly." According to the resolution, the revenue from the fee ($l5 to full time students and $10 to part time students per semester) will be distributed by Bogar after recommendation by the Recreational Sports Advisory Council and will be subject to review by Vincent Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs.
